Pre-Conference Audio Interview
In this exclusive pre-conference interview, the Levin Associates Healthcare team spoke with Amber McGraw Walsh, Partner at McGuireWoods LLP and co-chair of the McGuirewoods’ Healthcare Private Equity and Finance Conference (HCPE). Walsh offered valuable insight into what attendees can expect at the upcoming HCPE event, taking place April 29–30 at The Ritz-Carlton Chicago in Illinois.
Now in its 22nd year, HCPE has grown from a small 50-person lunch into a two-day gathering that attracts approximately 1,000 investors, operators, lenders, advisors and other healthcare professionals. The program features keynote addresses, fireside chats and 21 targeted breakout sessions organized across four key verticals: Life Sciences, Provider Services, Innovation and Operations & Deal Making.
This year’s event will also spotlight two notable keynote speakers — Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball, The Big Short and Flash Boys, and Abigail Wen, a New York Times bestselling author and expert in AI and its impact on healthcare. The speakers will provide their perspectives on emerging technologies and investment strategies shaping the healthcare market.
In our conversation with her, Walsh predicts AI will be one of the main topics of discussion at the conference. With rapid advancements in the technology affecting everything from deal evaluation to operational efficiency, attendees can expect multiple sessions exploring how investors and operators are actually implementing AI and where the biggest opportunities and risks lie. She also notes that the conference has a strong track record of generating real deals and lasting professional relationships.
